Tomorrow: Sunrise: 8.13 am Sunset: 5.15 pm. (Regina, Sask) I don’t see what the big deal is. All my life, in winter it’s dark when you go to school/work. I come home from work in the dark. It’s what I’m used to. In fact, I don’t really like bright sunny days in the winter. They trigger anxiety. ---

They trigger anxiety. Wow at above 50’ N you must be at the East side of your time zone. I do mostly agree, even if I am at 47.6 N. A few winters ago I was way up in Inuvik at around 68.3 N and really enjoyed the almost day long sunsets north of the arctic circle.

The darkness falling almost instantly after sunset and no real twilight time really bothered me for some reason. ---

No, closer to the western boundary. Manitoba and Saskatchewan are both in the Central zone, so the eastern boundary is a province over to the east. But i’m afraid i don’t understand your comment? Why do you think I’m at the eastern boundary? ---

Why do you think I’m at the eastern boundary? Because your sunset it almost 1 hour “later” than mine and I messed up my directions, as being on the far _western_ side of a time zone makes sunset _later_. It looks like if just longitude drove time zones you would be near the middle of Mountain time which explains it. Central time zone just seems to go farther West following political boundaries more in your particular area. ---

Vacationing in Negril, Jamaica this week. Today: Sunrise 6:20 am Sunset 5:36 pm We’re on the west end of the island, so we’re at the beach come sunset. I woke up with a stuffy head, so my people left me to beach alone today while they drive all over looking at stuff. It’s a hardship, I tell ya. ---

Central time zone just seems to go farther West following political boundaries more in your particular area. No I think we’d be at the edge of Mountain time. The classic boundary between Central and Western runs pretty much straight through the province. The compromise was that all of the Province is in the Central zone, but never goes on daylight saving time. Part of the year we’re on the same time as Manitoba, and part of the year on the same time as Alberta. But we are farther north than you, which shortens the daylight in winter.

Northern Norway here. Last sunset of the year on Tuesday. Next sunrise after that at the end of January, 2019. With the weather we’re having its pretty academic anyway, I don’t expect any sunlight until next year. I mean, if the sun does comes back, you never know if someone will prick it with a branch of mistletoe or something. Like 536. ---
